The Kifaru-1 exploration well is targeting Miocene sands, similar to the reservoirs in the Mnazi Bay and Msimbati gas fields in southern Tanzania, as well as Oligocene and Cretaceous sands. The Kifaru-1 well has a planned total depth of 4,050 meters True Vertical Depth Sub Sea and, based on the current drilling program, is expected to take approximately 70 days to complete.
